Chords

[Intro] D7 [Verse 1]
   G               Em
I've been around the world

            Am             D7
A couple of times or maybe more

     Am                    D7
I've seen the sights, I've had delights

   G             D7
On every foreign shore

    G                 Em
But when my mates all ask me

    Am           D7
The place that I adore

  Am        D7     G
I tell them right away
[Chorus]
G         Em             Am       D7
Give me a home among the gumtrees

             Am       D7
With lots of plum trees

  G                 D7
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo

  G                   Em
A clothesline out the back

  Am             D7
Verandah out the front

       Am  D7      G
And an old rocking chair
[Verse 2]
G                     Em
You can see me in the kitchen

        Am     D7
Cooking up a   roast

   Am          D7
Or Vegemite on toast

     G             D7
Just you and me, a cup of tea

    G               Em
And later on, we'll settle down

    Am            D7
And go out on the porch

    Am        D7      G
And watch the possums play
[Chorus]
G         Em             Am       D7
Give me a home among the gumtrees

             Am       D7
With lots of plum trees

  G                 D7
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo

  G                   Em
A clothesline out the back

  Am             D7
Verandah out the front

       Am  D7      G
And an old rocking chair
[Verse 3]
          C
There's a Safeways up the corner

      G
And a Woolies down the street

      D7
And a brand new place they've opened up

           G                 G7
Where they regulate the heat

        C
But I'd trade them all tomorrow

      G
For a little bush retreat

          D7
Where the kookaburras call
[Chorus]
G         Em             Am       D7
Give me a home among the gumtrees

             Am       D7
With lots of plum trees

  G                 D7
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo

  G                   Em
A clothesline out the back

  Am             D7
Verandah out the front

       Am  D7      G
And an old rocking chair
[Verse 4]
G                     Em
Some people like their houses

        Am     D7
With fences all around

   Am          D7
Others live in mansions

     G             D7
And some beneath the ground

    G               Em
But me I like the bush you know

    Am            D7
With rabbits running round

    Am        D7      G
And a pumpkin vine out the back
[Chorus]
G         Em             Am       D7
Give me a home among the gumtrees

             Am       D7
With lots of plum trees

  G                 D7
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo

  G                   Em
A clothesline out the back

  Am             D7
Verandah out the front

       Am  D7      G
And an old rocking chair

G         Em             Am       D7
Give me a home among the gumtrees

             Am
With lots of plum trees

  G                 D7
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo

  G                   Em
A clothesline out the back

  Am             D7
Verandah out the front

       Am  D7      G
And an old rocking chair
